Villone may be a professional, but he still sucks

With that home run, Ron Villone has now given up 5 runs over his last 6.1 IP. He’s allowed all of the runners he’s inherited since then to score as well. Tell me again why he’s on the big league roster while Chris Britton wastes away at AAA. Oh right, he is, in th words of Michael Kay, a “consummate professional.” Glad we cleared that one up.

If it smells like Villone, leave it alone. I agree. I don’t see why we keep signing these washed up pitchers due to their past success. This is what I was afraid we were gonna do when we signed Scott Williamson. Bring in some young arms. Heck, I wouldn’t even mind seeing Colter Bean throw his frisbee sliders.
